“We didn’t really have anything that wasn’t already released to the public” on adding Breath of the Wild Music to the Zelda Symphony

We hope you enjoyed our behind-the-scenes video of the Zelda Symphony last week. We’re now thrilled to share with you the first of several of the full interviews with producer Jason Michael Paul we filmed that night.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild released this year to glorious universal acclaim. We asked JMP to explain the process of how new music from Breath of the Wild was added to the symphony’s repertoire. It fascinated us to learn that Nintendo doesn’t give the symphony team very many resources to work with. “We didn’t really have anything that wasn’t already released to the public,” states Paul as if this was a once frustrating reality that he had since gotten used to.
